Sauter FA Force Gauge
Sauter FA Force Gauge
Sauter FA force gauges use a mechanical spring system to measure tensile and compressive force without batteries, charging or electronic controls. The analogue display presents newtons and kilograms together, while the switchable drag pointer can retain the peak value or allow the pointer to follow changing force during a test.
The rotating display makes zero adjustment convenient in different working positions, and the gauge can be used by hand or mounted on a compatible manual Sauter test stand for more repeatable loading. Supplied attachments support common push and pull measurements, making the FA range a practical choice for workshops, training environments, maintenance teams and routine quality checks where a simple mechanical indication is preferred.
